Troubling with showing Graphics in bubble sort visualization in Java [duplicate]

Here is the code for displaying circles with varying radius on a panel inside a frame with a given delay rate, but the code is showing the final output not the intermediate stages i.e., the circles are not appearing one by one but all the circles are coming at once as a final output. There may be some errors related to button action listeners and panel threads. The code is taking initial circle radius and the total number of iterations (the total number of circles to be displayed), radius of each next circle gets incremented by 10.

The problem you're having is far to common.
Swing is a single threaded framework. This means that all UI related interactions must occur within the context of this thread (AKA the Event Dispatching Thread).
The EDT is responsible for, amongst other things, dispatching repaint requests. If any part of your code stops this thread (block I/O, time consuming process, Thread.sleep), the EDT will be unable to process any new events.
Have a read through Concurrency in Swing for more details.
You now face two issues...
You can't block the EDT
You can't update the UI from any thread other then the EDT.
Luckily, there are a number of solutions. The simplest is using a javax.swing.Timer.
This timer triggers it's tick events within the EDT but waits within it's own thread...

Extended Example
This example will, when you click the "Start" button, create a random number of droplets at a random interval (between each droplet). You can press start multiple times and it will compound the output.

Animation Basics
You need three things to perform animation.
A Start state
A Target state
A delta or time range.
(You also need some way to store the current state)
The start and target states are self explanatory, they describe where you are now and where you want to change to.
The delta would be the amount to apply to the current state at each "time interval" (or tick) until you reach the delta.
Or
The time range would be the amount of time you want to use to move from the start state to the end state.
The delta approach is the simpler mechanism, but isn't nearly as flexible as the time range approach...
Once you have these basic elements set up, you need some kind of "tick" that is triggered at regular intervals which allows you to calculate the current state, which is either a linear movement from the start state to the target state (delta) or a progression of change of over time (time range)
A final, full working rework
Apart from you're attempt to block the EDT within the paint method and failing to following the Initial Thread requirements of Swing, the only other, significant, problem I found was your reliance on the radius and iter values.
Basically, these were never getting set UNLESS you pressed the Enter key...which I wasn't.
This example uses the code that you posted and the ideas from the first example...

This code works based on the description of your problem by correcting the common mistakes with animation in Swing but some of your code didn't quite make sense to me (ie enlarge and shrink) so I focused on the description your provided.

The idea is to control the drawing animation on the panel used as a canvas with the buttons Start, Stop and I added Continue and Reset additional controls to better explain the idea. These buttons control the animation thread execution thus drawing circles on the drawing surface. the drawing surface I separated as inner class that has only function to draw whatever performed. Another idea that the approach is taken to draw the circles one by one incrementally until it finishes drawing thus used incremental painting.
I have used the code from the above and changed it a little to support my ideas. If you need more and usually better examples look at this article.
The code is below, I didn't polish it enough to have a production wise look and feel but for demonstration purpose only.

GUI doesn't respond to mouse click and drag while running from another class

I have 2 classes: TestingPanel and SnipIt.
SnipIt is used for selecting an area on the screen.
TestingPanel is the main frame, containing a button to run method Snip() and receiving the return values.
If I test the SnipIt class separately, it works. But if I create a SnipIt object and run method Snip() from TestingPanel class, it doesn't work. The GUI just freezes and doesn't respond to mouse click or drag event. I guess something block the thread handle the mouse events but I'm not sure.
I have been stuck for couple hours and still don't know what caused the issue. Please help.

You're running the Snipit application in a background thread and then freezing that thread with Thread.sleep and a while true block, something guaranteed to freeze the GUI. Read Lesson: Concurrency in Swing and then be sure to always run Swing applications on the single Swing event thread, and do any long running or sleeping code in a background thread.
Possible solutions to your issue:
Make the Snipit window an undecorated modal dialog. This way program flow from the calling code stops when the dialog is visible and resumes when no longer visible.
Or Make the Snipit window JFrame an instance field of the class and allow outside classes to add listeners to it so that they will be notified when it closes.

A side issue unrelated to your initial problem is your use of null layougs. While null layouts and setBounds() might seem to Swing newbies like the easiest and best way to create complex GUI's, the more Swing GUI'S you create the more serious difficulties you will run into when using them. They won't resize your components when the GUI resizes, they are a royal witch to enhance or maintain, they fail completely when placed in scrollpanes, they look gawd-awful when viewed on all platforms or screen resolutions that are different from the original one.

Why JLabels disappeare?

I use 3 JPanel - one for background, one for draw connection line, one for drawing 2 labels. JPanel for drawing labels has MouseMotion and Mouse listeners. When some mouse action appears code check which one of the label must be move and then change that label coordinates and repaint JPanel with connection line.
All work fine until I try also repaint JPanel with background. If I uncomment the line
//allPanel.backgroundJPanel.repaint();
after action JLabels and line start disappeare.
Can someone explane why this happen?

Java image zooming japplet

Im trying to make an applet that will allow me to open, zoom in and out of an image. Ive got a working applet going, but am having trouble with the zoom. Any ideas on where to head from here?

You could continue to use a JLabel and scale the image and reset the JLabels icon property, or you could create a custom component dedicated to the job...
To start with, we need to display the image...
public class ZoomPane extends JPanel {
private BufferedImage master;
private Image scaled;
private float scale = 1f;
public ZoomPane() {
try {
master = ImageIO.read(new File("..."));
scaled = master;
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return scaled != null ? new Dimension(scaled.getWidth(this), scaled.getHeight(this)) : new Dimension(200, 200);
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
if (scaled != null) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create();
int x = (getWidth() - scaled.getWidth(this)) / 2;
int y = (getHeight() - scaled.getHeight(this)) / 2;
g2d.drawImage(scaled, x, y, this);
g2d.dispose();
}
}
}
Now, you could use a MouseWheelListener to scale the image...
addMouseWheelListener(new MouseWheelListener() {
#Override
public void mouseWheelMoved(MouseWheelEvent e) {
if (e.getWheelRotation() < 0) {
scale -= 0.1;
} else {
scale += 0.1;
}
scaleBy(scale);
}
});
And because you'll probably want to allow the users a few different methods to scale the image, a nice convenience method....
public void scaleBy(float amount) {
scale += amount;
scale = Math.min(Math.max(scale, 0.1f), 200);
scaled = master.getScaledInstance(
Math.round(master.getWidth() * scale),
Math.round(master.getHeight() * scale),
Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
revalidate();
repaint();
}
Now, it'd probably be nice to allow the user to use the + and - keys, for this, we'll want some kind of Action...
public class ZoomAction extends AbstractAction {
private ZoomPane zoomPane;
private float zoomAmount;
public ZoomAction(ZoomPane zoomPane, String name, float zoomAmount) {
this.zoomAmount = zoomAmount;
this.zoomPane = zoomPane;
putValue(NAME, name);
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
zoomPane.scaleBy(zoomAmount);
System.out.println("...");
}
}
This allows us to bind keyboard actions, buttons and menus and re-use the same basic code to do it...
InputMap im = getInputMap(WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
ActionMap am = getActionMap();
im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ADD, 0), "zoom-in");
im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_SUBTRACT, 0), "zoom-out");
am.put("zoom-in", new ZoomAction(this, "Zoom in", 0.1f));
am.put("zoom-out", new ZoomAction(this, "Zoom out", -0.1f));
This example works with the numpad + and - keys.
All this functionality should be added directly within the ZoomPane
You can re-use the ZoomAction in your menus...
JMenuBar mb = new JMenuBar();
JMenu pictureMenu = new JMenu("Picture");
pictureMenu.add(new ZoomAction(zoomPane, "Zoom In", 0.1f));
pictureMenu.add(new ZoomAction(zoomPane, "Zoom Out", -0.1f));
mb.add(pictureMenu);
And even in you buttons...
JPanel buttons = new JPanel();
buttons.add(new JButton(new ZoomAction(zoomPane, "Zoom In", 0.1f)));
buttons.add(new JButton(new ZoomAction(zoomPane, "Zoom Out", -0.1f)));
frame.add(buttons, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
Warning
The scaling is pretty rough and ready, you should consider taking a look at:
The Perils of Image.getScaledInstance()
Java: maintaining aspect ratio of JPanel background image
Quality of Image after resize very low -- Java
... for more details
And finally, hacking it all together, as a runnable example...

JPanel listeners and threads issues

Here is the code for displaying circles with varying radius on a panel inside a frame with a given delay rate, but the code is showing the final output not the intermediate stages i.e., the circles are not appearing one by one but all the circles are coming at once as a final output. There may be some errors related to button action listeners and panel threads. The code is taking initial circle radius and the total number of iterations (the total number of circles to be displayed), radius of each next circle gets incremented by 10.

The problem you're having is far to common.
Swing is a single threaded framework. This means that all UI related interactions must occur within the context of this thread (AKA the Event Dispatching Thread).
The EDT is responsible for, amongst other things, dispatching repaint requests. If any part of your code stops this thread (block I/O, time consuming process, Thread.sleep), the EDT will be unable to process any new events.
Have a read through Concurrency in Swing for more details.
You now face two issues...
You can't block the EDT
You can't update the UI from any thread other then the EDT.
Luckily, there are a number of solutions. The simplest is using a javax.swing.Timer.
This timer triggers it's tick events within the EDT but waits within it's own thread...

Animation Basics
You need three things to perform animation.
A Start state
A Target state
A delta or time range.
(You also need some way to store the current state)
The start and target states are self explanatory, they describe where you are now and where you want to change to.
The delta would be the amount to apply to the current state at each "time interval" (or tick) until you reach the delta.
Or
The time range would be the amount of time you want to use to move from the start state to the end state.
The delta approach is the simpler mechanism, but isn't nearly as flexible as the time range approach...
Once you have these basic elements set up, you need some kind of "tick" that is triggered at regular intervals which allows you to calculate the current state, which is either a linear movement from the start state to the target state (delta) or a progression of change of over time (time range)
A final, full working rework
Apart from you're attempt to block the EDT within the paint method and failing to following the Initial Thread requirements of Swing, the only other, significant, problem I found was your reliance on the radius and iter values.
Basically, these were never getting set UNLESS you pressed the Enter key...which I wasn't.
This example uses the code that you posted and the ideas from the first example...

This code works based on the description of your problem by correcting the common mistakes with animation in Swing but some of your code didn't quite make sense to me (ie enlarge and shrink) so I focused on the description your provided.

The idea is to control the drawing animation on the panel used as a canvas with the buttons Start, Stop and I added Continue and Reset additional controls to better explain the idea. These buttons control the animation thread execution thus drawing circles on the drawing surface. the drawing surface I separated as inner class that has only function to draw whatever performed. Another idea that the approach is taken to draw the circles one by one incrementally until it finishes drawing thus used incremental painting.
I have used the code from the above and changed it a little to support my ideas. If you need more and usually better examples look at this article.
The code is below, I didn't polish it enough to have a production wise look and feel but for demonstration purpose only.
